Here I am after a pep rally for my university, IUPUI (go ahead, make the jokes) won a basketball tournament for the first time in the school's history. As a student, I was there to support my school's team. As an employee of the marketing department, I was there to clean up...

Yay. Rah.

I've never been 'hot' and I'm no longer twenty something-Mug you've still got it! I'm hoping for a Bluechair effect minus the cuteness factor. Digital cameras seem to make me look as if I have jaundice and the mumps or perhaps it's my photography skills.

LTZ, you are too, too kind. That picture does me some favors, actually-- mostly cause I was so thrilled to be next to Elvis! (The pic was taken the first of two times I've met him-- this time in '99, and again last year.)

And Gilli, you have no idea what a compliment you've paid me, as Eloise is my hero!!

LJ, you do yourself a disservice. Your resemblance to Christina Ricci has already been famously noted!

Blue Chair, ain't you the sweetest! The manaical, open mouthed grin I have in the pic was brought on by working overtime and midterms. Nothing like sleep deprivation and OD'ing on caffiene and nicotine to make a person giddy...

This was taken yesterday at a place called Cajón del Maipo, like an hour ago from Santiago. The impressive mountains you see is the Andes in all its splendour. I hadn't planned to go that far into the mountains so I was clearly underdressed, but it was worth it.

It wasn't that cold actually, probably like 0°C, which was quite tolerable. I was there with my cuban buddy who had never seen snow before, so it was quite exciting for him.
Sadly you have to leave Santiago to find spots like that, on a usual winter day you can't even see the mountains because of the smog. It rained this last thursday over here, so the air was pretty clean this weekend. Every time that happens some newspapers make a big deal about it cause it's the only chance we have to see clear skies in the middle of winter.
